Discover more ways to power your digital signage network:
Transform your Raspberry Pi into a smart signage hub that doesn't just display content - it interacts with the physical world. Connect sensors, trigger content based on real-world events, and control external devices - all from one tiny, powerful computer.
IoT (Internet of Things) Digital Signage goes beyond passive displays. It creates an intelligent, responsive system that reacts to real-world inputs and communicates with other smart devices.
Detect motion, temperature, proximity, light levels, RFID tags, and more using connected sensors
SignPlayer analyzes sensor data and applies your rules to determine the right content response
Display contextual content, trigger alerts, control external devices, and send data to the cloud
Connect a wide range of sensors to your Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. The SignPlayer reads inputs and triggers content changes in real-time.
Detect when people approach. Trigger welcome messages, activate displays from sleep mode, or count foot traffic.
Use cases: Welcome screens, energy saving, analytics
Monitor environmental conditions. Display real-time climate data or trigger alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Use cases: Warehouses, server rooms, greenhouses
Detect how close someone is standing. Change content based on viewer distance or trigger interactive experiences.
Use cases: Retail displays, museums, kiosks
Identify badges, cards, or products. Display personalized content or track inventory and access.
Use cases: Employee welcome, product info, access control
Control external devices - lights, door locks, motors, alarms, and more based on schedules or triggers.
Use cases: Lighting control, door access, alerts
See how businesses are using IoT-enabled digital signage to create smarter, more responsive environments.
Motion sensor detects customer entering store -> Display switches from ambient content to personalized greeting -> "Welcome! Today's special: 20% off winter collection" -> Counter increments visitor count for analytics
GPIO receives signal from elevator controller -> Display shows current floor number and direction -> Content changes based on floor (lobby shows directory, floors show department info) -> Real-time, zero latency updates
Fire alarm system triggers GPIO input -> ALL connected displays instantly switch to emergency evacuation content -> Shows nearest exit routes -> Overrides all scheduled content until alarm cleared
Temperature sensor monitors food prep area -> When temp exceeds safe threshold -> Display flashes warning -> Alert sent to manager's phone -> Logged for compliance documentation
Employee badges RFID card -> System identifies employee -> Display shows personalized welcome with name -> Triggers time clock entry -> Shows relevant announcements for their department
Counter sensor tracks units produced -> Real-time production numbers on factory floor display -> Changes color green/yellow/red based on quota targets -> Sends data to central dashboard for management
Ultrasonic sensors detect available spaces -> Displays at entrance show real-time availability by floor -> Directional signs guide drivers to open spots -> Updates instantly as cars enter/exit
Proximity sensor detects visitor approach -> Display wakes from screensaver -> Shows exhibit information -> Pressure sensor on floor detects lingering -> Offers deeper content or audio guide
